Application May 22, 1935, Serial No. 22,871

2 Claims. (01. '16-'71) This invention relates to a saw set and is primarily designed and adapted for setting teeth of circular and drag saws.

The principal object of the invention is the provision of a device of the indicated, character which may be used for setting saw teeth of different sizes; one which may be used to vary the setting of the teeth according to the material to be sawn; and one which will be of substantial and efficient design.

The nature of the invention and its distinguishing features and advantages will appear when the following specification is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which-- Figure 1 is a side view of a device embodying the features of the invention, the device being shown partly in section, and illustrating the man her in which it is used;

Figure 2 is a view of the device looking at the under side thereof;

Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the tooth engaging end of the device looking at the under side thereof;

Figure 4 is an enlarged section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1;

Figure 5 is an enlarged section taken on the line 55 of Figure 1;

Figure 6 is an enlarged section taken on the line 66 of Figure 1.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing, it will be apparent that the device includes a rigid element II] of metal and of any suitable length. This element embodies a tooth engaging end portion II and a handle I2 in continuation of said portion II. The element I0 is of irregular formation so that the end portion I I will have the desired bulk. The end portion I I has recesses or holes I3, I4 and I5 therein, arranged in spaced relation to each other and opening through the under face I6 of said portion H. The recesses I3, I4 and I5 are of various sizes to accommodate or receive saw teeth of different sizes. Each recess has length, width and depth. The recess I3 in actual practise is approximately inch long, inch wide and t; inch deep, the recess I4 is inch long, & inch wide and T"; inch deep, and the recess I5 is lg inch long, inch wide and inch deep. It will therefore be apparent that the recess I3 accommodates relatively small teeth, the recess I5 accommodates relatively large teeth, and the recess I4 accommodates teeth of a size between those accommodated by the recesses I3 and I5. Each of said recesses is of such character as to substantially prevent the element I0 from slipping sidewise when a saw tooth is engaged therein. The element I0 has a bearing I1 projecting downwardly therefrom in proximity to the end portion II. This bearing I! has a plain bore I8 therethrough which accommodates a screw bolt I9 having a rounded head 20 on one end thereof. Nuts 2| are adjustable on the bolt I9 and are engageable with opposite sides of the bearing in order to hold the bolt III in various positions of adjustment with respect to the recesses I3, I4, and I5. The bolt I9, as adjustably mounted on the element I0, constitutes a stop gauge means with which the setting of the saw teeth may be adjusted.

When the device is placed over a saw with one of the teeth of the saw disposed in the recess I3, I4 or I5, by pressing downwardly on the handle I2 to cant the device, the tooth will be bent out to the right or left, as may be desired, and the head 20 of the bolt I9 will touch the saw, thereby limiting the degree of spread or bend given to the tooth. In this manner, the teeth of a saw may be set in equal manner, alternately to the right and left, to obtain the desired cut- 20 ting effect, according to the material to be sawn. The bolt I9 may be readily adjusted by loosening the nuts 2|, after which these nuts may be jammed against the bearing I1 to lock the bolt I9 in the adjusted position. The bolt I9 is long enough to take care of adjustments for the three recesses provided in the present instance. The bolt I9 is not only adjustable with respect to the recesses I3, I4 and I5 for setting teeth of different sizes, but also adjustable with respect to each recess to vary the setting of the particular size tooth accommodated by the recess.

It is to be understood that while there has been shown and described the three recesses or grooves of definite sizes, that any other suitable number of recesses or holes of any other sizes may be provided.

I claim:

1. In a saw set, a rigid setting element having spaced saw tooth receiving recesses therein, each of said recesses having length, width and depth, the end walls of each recess serving to substantially prevent said element from slipping sidewise when a saw tooth is disposed therein and said element is being canted to set the tooth.

2. A saw set comprising a rigid setting element having spaced saw tooth receiving recesses therein of various sizes, each of said recesses having length, width and depth, the end walls of each recess serving to substantially prevent said element from slippingsidewise when a saw tooth isv disposed therein and said element is being canted to set the tooth, and a member mounted on said element for adjustment with respect to said recesses, and engageable with the saw to limit the canting of said element with respect thereto, to thus control the amount of bending of the tooth.

JACOB W. BULLER.
